At the altitude at which you can reasonably fly at Mach 9, destroying the aerodynamics of the vehicle means that you have low-speed parts of a formerly high-speed missile flying in your direction. And unless the interception happens in the zenith, whence they could just fall down on you, they won't keep flying in your direction for long.
- sudosysgen 5y agoI don't understand your description. Where do you want to put shrapnel in front of the missile? Because you're not going to be able to do it until shortly before impact. Also, flight at Mach 9 can be done at low altitudes. Just not for very long and only once.
